In the summer of 2012, something great happened.
After talking about hundreds of livesets, mixtapes and of course mixshows here on our board, we decided it was time for the forum itself to join the airwaves. And what started out as small fun little community thing, ended up being…well, something much bigger of which we can be very proud of!
But after all those years filled with specials, milestones, featured Axtone guestmixers but most importantly, you guys in one way or another, we felt that it was the right time to give the Forum Podcast a proper farewell with a very last episode.
Now don’t despair! We are going to reboot the show, starting this year. Axwell Forum Radio will continue where AFP will stop. Axwell Forum Radio, or AFR I guess, will incorporate the forum way more. I think you will see/hear what I mean by that when you listen to the very First episode around end of January.
But until that that time comes, let’s enjoy AFP with this last chapter. We conclude the podcast with a very very VERY special episode. Over the past few months, I’ve contacted those who once did a mix for the show and asked to pick ONE track they’ve played that was key to their entire episode.
It took some more time than I thought it would, but after a lot of asking around, searching, rebooting, remashing, designing and mixing we at last ended up with 50 essential tracks that tell the tale of 50 episodes of the Axwell Forum Podcast.
So for the very last time, enjoy!

AFP050 - mixed by NEW_ID (Live from the Axtone Beatport Boat Party)
So a week ago, us forum members had the ride of a lifetime; The Axtone Beatport Boat Party. Sailing through the 'Prinsengracht', one of the many canals of Amsterdam (that you can also see on the artwork), we met a lot of people including a big portion of the Axtone crew!
NEW_ID was one of them.
Coincidentally, our 50th episode of AFP was coming up as well and we were looking for something special to properly celebrate it. Well, when we heard NEW_ID's set, our minds were made up; we HAD to have this for our milestone episode! When we approached Devi after his set, he was happy to oblige! Some talking and emailing later, we can finally proudly present NEW_ID, live from one of the coolest dance events ever, on our 50th episode of the Axwell Forum Podcast.
I want to thank the Axtone crew, breakfast design & Devi, one of the coolest bunch of individuals on the planet and ofcourse you guys that supported the show for over 4 years already! November and December will see the return of AFP in full force for a final but undoubtedly fantastic run. I believe there is no better way to kick off these last months than with such a special episode like this.
Now, enough talk! It's time for you to go and enjoy to those juicy axtone ID's! Nothing but love :)

AFP047 - Miami Edition (mixed by Romain G)
A special like this is suitable any time of the year, and with the dust still settling from the Miami Music Week, we thought it this would be a nice way to close a fantastic week of music and new ID's!
The tracks, selected by the forum, are old and modern classics that are absolutely soaked in the sunny miami waters as they have either been debuted during the happening, or simply really big!
Mixing this week's episode is AFP veteran Romain G, who was more than happy to the arsenal of suggestions together in just over one hour of memories! On artwork duties as always, is Josh Muscat, who did his best to make an absolutely perfectly fitting artwork for the special!
Thank to Josh and Romain for their input, and the forum guys for the tracks!
Happy listening!

There has been some shuffling in the final run of last year's schedule, but it's all set to go now. We start with mr. Sobieski first. I already heard his mix and it's everything you expect from mister classic house :). Some featured names to get y'all in the mood: Armand van Helden, Soul Central, Todd Terry, Rivera. Doesnt get much more smooth than this :)
